I really enjoy Teachers First Webinar's. They call this part of their program OK2ASK. I have attended almost everyone. The great thing about them is the size of the group. There are always 2-3 moderators and around 12 people attending a session so you really get hands on attention. Most webinars have 100 + people attending but there is not interaction or individual attention.
This is a list of the final webinars for this school year. It's not too late to sign up for one.
